Unfortunately SKY and the RL establishment are going to sweep it all under the carpet. Punishing Wigan for minor infractions (though I don't believe the deferral WAS a breach) is one thing.
But there's no way they are going to punish 10 clubs, it just isn't going to happen.
Only people who believe the SC is fair (is there anyone that really thinks this anyway, its supporters seem to me to be mainly cynical Saints fans and other Wigan haters?) and who think the RL is an impartial and courageous protector of the game (I doubt there's anyone that thinks this!) could expect the teams who have cheated the cap, not just the spirit of the cap, to be punished.
